How to know when to buy new sheets

Similar to your other bedding, the best way to know when to buy new sheets is to look out for indicators of wear and tear. Things to keep an eye out for include:

• Holes
• Tears
• Colour fading
• Thinning

How long it takes for these issues to arise will depend on how often you change your sheets, how often you clean your sheets, and whether you rotate your sheets.

In saying that, it’s often recommended that you replace old sheets and buy new ones every two or three years. 

 

Understanding the different styles of sheets

Brushed cotton flannelette sheets, fitted sheets with wide elastic all the way around or single cotton fitted sheets; there are so many different types and styles to get your head around. The variety of sheets available makes sense, given that everyone has their own idea of comfort. The best way to find your ideal sheet set is by doing a bit of research.
